H2SITE's Groundbreaking Ammonia Cracker for Fuel-Cell Purity Hydrogen Production in the UK
Key Ideas
  • H2SITE has developed an efficient ammonia cracker using membrane reactor technology to produce 200 kg of green hydrogen per day for the Ammogen Project in Tyseley Energy Park.
  • The technology separates hydrogen in-situ through membranes, achieving over 98% hydrogen recovery and meeting fuel-cell grade standards.
  • The Ammogen project, backed by various partners, aims to advance international hydrogen trade and explore applications in import hubs and maritime settings.
H2SITE has unveiled a groundbreaking project in the UK by designing and constructing an efficient ammonia cracker that produces fuel cell-grade hydrogen for the Ammogen Project at Tyseley Energy Park in Birmingham. This innovative approach utilizes membrane reactor technology, enabling the production of 200 kg of green hydrogen per day. The ammonia cracking and separation technology by H2SITE involves the integration of H2-selective membranes in a catalytic bed, ensuring the production of high-purity hydrogen while eliminating downstream separation units. The success of this project marks a significant milestone for H2SITE, showcasing the viability of membrane reactors for ammonia cracking. As part of the collaboration with partners like Tyseley Energy Park, EQUANS, and the University of Birmingham, the Ammogen project not only aims to produce green hydrogen but also to promote international hydrogen trade. Jose Medrano, the Technical Director at H2SITE, envisions scaling up the technology to process larger quantities within the next two years for broader applications in import hubs and maritime industries. H2SITE, established in 2020, specializes in reactors and separators for hydrogen conversion from various feedstocks and is committed to driving advancements in sustainable energy solutions.
